Adopt LOUNA

Female · Senior · 10 years

LOUNA has just arrived at the shelter. Everything is still new for her, and she is gradually discovering her environment, the people who take care of her, and the other animals. We take the time to get to know her, to understand her personality, her habits, and her needs. Every day, LOUNA shows us a little more who she is, with her qualities, her small fears, and her progress. Like for every new arrival, we move at her pace in order to offer her the most reassuring environment possible. We will tell you more about her very soon.

Louna vient tout juste d’arriver au refuge. Tout est encore nouveau pour elle, et elle découvre peu à peu son environnement, les personnes qui prennent soin d’elle et les autres animaux. Nous prenons le temps d’apprendre à la connaître, de comprendre son caractère, ses habitudes et ses besoins. Chaque jour, louna nous montre un peu plus qui elle est, avec ses qualités, ses petites craintes et ses progrès. Comme pour chaque nouvel arrivant, nous avançons à son rythme afin de lui offrir le cadre le plus rassurant possible. Nous vous en dirons davantage sur elle très bientôt.

About LOUNA

What life with LOUNA looks like

LOUNA is a senior dog waiting at SPA Laon in Laon.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting LOUNA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LOUNA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Laon handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw LOUNA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LOUNA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Laon will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is LOUNA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if LOUNA isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Laon early rather than rehoming privately; they know LOUNA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
